I hope everyone is staying dry from our latest run of atmospheric rivers!
Thank you for those of you who joined us for our virtual Tea With Li session. If you were not able to, here is our slide deck if you would still like to learn about our School Improvement Plan (SIP) as well as our Title 1 Intervention Support Plan. Read a summary (available in several different languages) of our SIP as well. We appreciate your partnership as we strive to help all our students make growth.
Have a question you want answered at Tea with Li? Let us know through this quick survey!

Updated 25-26 SY Calendar
We recently learned that the state approved our waiver request, which means we are confirming that the last day of school for the 2025-26 school year is June 16 unless there are more than two weather make-up days needed.
The calendar currently includes two inclement weather make-up days: March 13 and March 30. If the district cancels school for more than two days between now and March 30, we will make up any additional days after June 16.
For the web-based district calendar, visit our website. A downloadable PDF version of the calendar is also available on the website.
